- I wasn't going to make a video about this... but after the Max Verstappen to Mercedes rumors got a lot bigger today, I had to stick my nose in. I don't think this is happening... and here's why...

Which reminds me that you owe us a naked Monaco marathon
Indeed.
That’s my job
Naked Run! Naked Run! Naked Run!.........awwwwww........arrested!
Ye
When is he doing it?
Netflix is foaming at the mouth rn, they’ve gotten a full season of DTS before two full race weekends
lmfao 🤣
They will not take this, but we know this is insane !!
*sees title, pretends to be shock*
Just to be able to watch the video.
@@W-meme yes
And now Ben Sulayem is being blasted for trying to overturn Alonso's penalty in Jeddah 2023.
Even in the FIA, El Padre is above all 😂
2024 as a whole will be the silliest season yet.
Trying to? He got it removed !!
They probably need this because the sport itself ain’t gonna provide the entertainment
AM Aramco podium in Saudi Arabia. 🤔
Sorry what has happened? I don't understand the impact of the +5sec towards Alonso now😂
@@nilcortines8375 It was a 5 seconds penalty for being out of his grid box at the start. When he came into the pit the rear jack touched the car before the penalty was served. That was a 10 second penalty, which took him out of the top 3, and was later dismissed allegedly at the urging of Sulayem.
Max signed a multi year contract stating he will most likely complete his career with RB. how's he going to get out of that? I think Jos should go home.
He has a clause in his contact that if Helmut leaves red bull, max can leave immediately
Well, it was the same for Hamilton contract-wise and there he is going to Ferrari, it really is unlikely that Max is actually going to Mercedes but at this point I'm not sure of anything lol
Rumor is that he has a clause in the contract that if Helmuth Marko leaves, he can also leave without any legal penalty. And since Max said many times last year when Marko was under fire that if Marko leaves he will also leave, people are making an argument that it's possible for this to be true (also fueled by the fact Marko allegedly said if Max wants to leave for Mercedes, he will not stay in his way)
Anyone can get out of any contract by just being subject to the associated fees and fines that come with it. Even people with contracts aren’t slaves, and these guys are millionaires. Hell, if I had a team and I could afford it, I’ll put up the funds for whatever penalty Max would incur if he’ll drive for me.
The best drivers always have an out clause that they can use if they wish so it could happen. I don't think it will, but with Jos I guess anything can happen. He's a little loopy IMO and starting too much drama. Max may need to have a talk with him
Ngl, Max going to the team that has been dragging him and his accomplishments through the mud for years, doesn't really fit with how Max does thing..
Please do the monaco thing in a funny costume. Would be hilarious
naked is naked
@@zaaieer nah m8. The residents of monaco don't need to be subjected to that
Fernando 2025 WDC in the RB21 make it happen
Yes!
PLEASE THIS!! WE ALL NEED TO SEE THIS HAPPEN! LETS GO CHADLONSO❤
I want Danny Ric to be the next years champ. Then Leclerc for Ferrari. Alonso had his day!
@@declaredjeans7555Riccardo doesnt have it, and Ferrari cannot find a chassis setup to compliment the engine package. Max leaves RB after 2025 season with 5 championships,...and joins Mercedes and wins 3 more, making him the GREATEST DRIVER OF ALL TIME. He will have 8 championships, and at least 150 wins.
@@franklinniesterjr3812We have a very boring future ahead of us 🙄 might stop watching...
Does Max really want Horner to leave or is it just his dad been an ass again.
This is what got me confused.
leaving a winning team hell no
As far as ACTUAL quotes go, his dad's an ass. And also denies saying the things he's quotes as staying
When it became clear Max didn’t need Jos’ help anymore he needed a new job & became the paddock shit stirrer. I give him similar levels of credibility as whatever Marko is running his mouth about this week 😂
It's his clown father
@@ShawnFXthat supposedly is sleeping with the same women Christian was
Why is no one mentioning the timing of the Big Ben news? It comes out he asked max to back Christian and the next day he’s being investigated for something from last year?
What are you talking about? I hadn’t heard of this
Thats actually an interesting point
Good point, and oddly suspicious.
@@b29ak2007 can someone explain to me what the Big Ben news is? I’m at work and I’m not even supposed to on my phone at all
Seems like non rb fans are looking for anything to get them off the top spot.
*Max is staying with Red Bull. Here is why:*
- Jos Verstappen had dinner with Toto Wolff. They know eachother for 25 years. It's normal that they would have conversations.
- Toto Wolff was asked about Lewis' seat going to Max. He said it's possible since it's open to everyone for now.
- Naturally Toto Wolff is gonna respond this because Max is the best driver on the current grid. Everyone wants him.
- Everyone on the grid is talking to eachother all the time. That doesn't mean they're really talking about a transfer.
- Max is very loyal to Red Bull and has a contract until the end of 2027. It's more likely he won't renew the contract to quit F1.
- Max has exit clauses. One of them is that he requires a competitive car. Mercedes doesn't fit that criteria.
- The RB20 is a competitive car and it's very likely the RB21 is also gonna be competitive. Only 2026 is a question mark for now.
- Not likely that key personnel like Newey leaves for Mercedes. They have exit clauses with other personnel.
- Red Bull did it's investigation on Christian Horner and concluded he isn't getting fired. So he's not getting fired anytime soon.
- There is no new investigation on Red Bull's end about the new proof. If there is any, they'll communicate that with everyone.
"-Jos Verstappen had dinner with Toto Wolff. They know eachother for 25 years. It's normal that they would have conversations."
All the more reason why Max would seek to move to Mercedes if he were thinking of leaving. Surely you're not naive enough to not realize that Toto is keeping his options open through his relationships with people like Jos, right?
"- Toto Wolff was asked about Lewis' seat going to Max. He said it's possible since it's open to everyone for now. "
Obvious statement is obvious. As if Toto wouldn't jump at the chance of signing Max.
"- Max is very loyal to Red Bull and has a contract until the end of 2027. It's more likely he won't renew the contract to quit F1."
I don't even know what this is supposed to imply. If Max wants to continue in F1, then it's not a given that he will want to stay with Red Bull through 2027. Especially with RBPT making their own engine for the 2026 season. Also, Max is loyal to Helmut and his dad, not Red Bull.
"- Max has exit clauses. One of them is that he requires a competitive car. Mercedes doesn't fit that criteria."
I have news for you: Red Bull will not have a competitive car in 2026, and Max knows this.
"- The RB20 is a competitive car and it's very likely the RB21 is also gonna be competitive. Only 2026 is a question mark for now."
"a question mark" is putting it lightly. Yes, the 2025 car will be great, I'm sure, but the new engine regs will likely put Mercedes at the top again.
"- Not likely that key personnel like Newey leaves for Mercedes. They have exit clauses with other personnel."
Like Horner, from what I hear. What makes you think that Horner is going to stick around after all of this bullshit?
"- Red Bull did it's investigation on Christian Horner and concluded he isn't getting fired. So he's not getting fired anytime soon."
That doesn't mean he doesn't see the writing on the wall, or an opportunity to move to another team. Consider if Max left and Horner stays: he will have 2025 with a superior car before years of losing with RBPT engines. Horner of all people would be smart enough to pivot to another team before getting stuck in that mess. I think it's likely both Max and Horner are gone by 2026.
- Carlos Sainz Sr also had talks with Horner & Marko about Red Bull's second seat. There are talks going between other drivers & other team bosses. It's very unlikely Max will go to Mercedes, especially when now Mercedes is in a downwards spiral.
- Toto's & Jos's dinner wasn't about Max but because they're friends.
- It's because of Max that Red Bull push themselves to deliver a superior car to him. Max won't leave them for a team that can't give him those guarantees. Max isn't stupid and won't change teams until after his contract ends. Even then like I mentioned he'll likely quit F1 than move to Mercedes or any other team.
- Mercedes will have a worse car in 2026 than Red Bull. 2022 is proof of that. Mercedes is in a downwards spiral meanwhile Red Bull has the best personnel. Red Bull has to deliver, meanwhile Mercedes are struggling to even get a car of 2 seasons ago right.
- Red Bull makes official statements, this was also given during the official F1 weekend warm up in Bahrain. Horner is cleared of charges against him and future evidence will maybe result in another investigation but getting fired is so unlikely.
- No key personnel from Red Bull will change teams. Don't be stupid.
I see holes in all of your arguments but just wanted to throw my two cents into to one in specific: The Adrian Newey/key RB personnel not leaving.
That same Adrian Newey left Williams in the late 90’s after disagreements on who should drive the next year. Newey left because Frank didn’t want to sign Damon Hill again, and the mighty engineer leaving marked the downfall of the team. Pair that with probably receiving a better pay and puff he’s gone. Don’t be so naive thinking people are loyal to a brand. People are loyal to a paycheck, and at most to personal dogma. If for whatever reason Mercedes snatches Max and offers Newey a better deal, you can be sure he will say adios to the bulls.
-merc is in the ground era not the ground effect era
@@espvpI believe Horner's only bargaining chip is Adrian Newey. If he decides to leave, it will game over for him.
Altho Newey maybe staying at Red Bull as he has a lot of freedom with regards to his side projects. But as you said, one may never know.
So when’s the nude streak around Monaco coming will?
think it'll be the ksi vs jake paul of this channel, the thing thats always teased but never happens...

RUclips comments: This video has aged well.
its engagement at least...
That's not gonna happen, I'd bet you 50 dollars if this was in person.
Ooh I'd take that bet.. If it was just Max making decisions I would say he stays at Red Bull, but since Jos is involved, I feel like anything can happen especially for the 2026 season with new regulations
@@FP1Willget ready to run naked around Monaco 😂
lol moving to merc would be dumb.. when you are moving from the Main seat at RB
that ferrari prediction did come back to bite you in the ass huh
Verstappen to Merc, Sainz to replace Pérez and Alonso to take Verstappen‘s seat, while Red Bull poach Antonelli as a long-term prospect and stick him in at RB.
Aston to then dominate them all and Stroll becomes champion.
If we’re doing carnage silly-season in March, let’s go all in.
Edit: typo.
Sounds reasonable…
The Yuki/Ricciardo scuffles continue all season, Red Bull decides to pair Liam Lawson with Fernando as a mentorship role (just like with Lance at Aston)
Give a chance to Liam Lawson
Mazepin returns to Haas after training in the simulator non stop.
He promptly finishes 19th
I swore to god you were saying Red Bull when you said RB. If the whole "VCARB" nickname doesn't catch on this is gonna get old quick...
Hold up, bro still needs to run naked around monaco
damn, we don't even need racing to be entertained this year... not that F1 racing is entertaining in 2024
its a new story every day at this point...
Moving to Merc would be a classic sell-high buy-low move for Max. He would bank and Merc is likely to swing back. Esp if they signed Max Verstappen. Itd be that whole era part 2.
Maybe. If they nail it.
Or her fucks him self out of the dream team for.... A chance at a dream team.
Stupid
I am inclined to agree. There are two manufacturers that I can see nailing the new engine regs: Mercedes and Audi (assuming they make it to 2026). Both of these companies REALLY know how to make good engines. That's not to say that Ferrari or Renault can't (although obviously the latter has struggled in recent years, which says a lot about RBPT's prospects), but Red Bull is going to be facing a MASSIVE uphill battle in 2026 building their own engines. Red Bull will be fine in 2025 but the future after that is a huge question mark and it might behoove Max to switch while the seat is available.
before Mercedes can win again they have to fully remove the DEI cancer Hamilton pushed on them
Can’t wait to see how well this prediction ages
This video about to age like Apple Spritz
I guess somebody at red bull forgot to lock the basement.
alright calm down
Saved your Monaco promise!! 😊
I just posted a comment on another channel about this.
No driver in f1 would leave a winning car for a 3rd fastest (at best) eben if his worst enemy is in that team.
That’s ridiculous to think
*Emerson Fittipaldi enters the chat.
@@todayshorse oh really?? Fittipaldi’s move from Lotus in 1973 where he finished 2ND in the championship (his teammate 3rd) to McLaren in 1974 where he actually won the championship relates to this topic and compares well with Red Bull’s most dominant car in F1 history.
I think he left the chat pretty quickly mate
@@zvezdanjasovic3185 then he re-enters the chat by leaving Mclaren very late in 75 for his brothers team.
@@todayshorse he’s back again 😂 😂
Fair point but still Fittipaldi didn’t win the title in 75th and that move was super bizarre.
Imagine Max going to Alfa Tauri on his own choice 😂 or Lewis quitting Mercedes in 2020.
The point is you can find someone that did that but 99% of drivers that ever drove in F1 never left a winning car during that car era.
Miracle can happen, but it’s more likely that it won’t.
How much you wanna bet that at the end of this season that people really won't remember these Horner shenanigans
Come one Will, off to Monaco with you
This guy knows no better than any of us - I'll be laughing when Max announces his Merc switch next week.
I thought I was in a meme review when i saw the number of people talking about this, like it's 100% gonna happen.
I'm glad to see that ain't completely the cause.
The easiest thing in the world is to just stop watching F1
Like I did in 2015 for 6 years
So, I'll just start watching again after 2030
You’re completely right!! Hamilton will never leave Mercedes for Ferrari‼️ Absolute CRAZY talk!!
Crazy that people even consider Max would even entertain the thought of moving to ANY TEAMS before 2025 ends.
But when asked if he was looking to orchestrate a campaign to take Horner out of his position, he flatly denied it.
“That wouldn’t make sense. Why would I do that when Max is doing so well here?” he replied.
Amazing video! Loved it.
Those texts are the most white bread controversy I have ever seen
I just want to say that you have become my favorite Creator to watch for F1 content thank you
Now Will’s said it definitely wont happen, I’m off to put some money on it happening 😂
Well, if the races are going to be boring this year, at least we have some implosions to look at off the grid. Still sad we can't have the 22 close racing again but i just hope others will finally crack the code too and close the gap
Never leave a winning team... Only leave for the team rising past yours.
I enjoyed this script, it was appropriately sarcastic & witty. Made me chuckle. Much better than the fawning gossipy fangirling happening on other channels I’d usually had time for.
Hypothetically if he did go to Mercedes, which he won't, it would just cause a shit ton of drama because I'm pretty sure most of the Mercedes team doesn't like him after there rivalry. Netflix' drive to survive would love it though 😅
I doubt it will happen but many people dismissed the Hamilton to Ferrari rumors and now look what happened.
Hamilton was leaving a winning team
It does seem implausible, but it sure would make on-track F1 interesting again. I hope it happens.
Hey Will, still waiting for the Monaco video to drop on your Only Fans!
Jos sounds like he wants to burn some bridges like they're a 1994 driver's suit
refreshingly honest not click baitey and funny.thank you
My dad never had any say in my job circumstances. There again, I never made even close to 1K a year. I wonder if Jos is on the Max paylist, and for how many M/year it is. Imagine employing your dad, it’s not been done since Rimmer in BTL.
That’s where Stroll went wrong. He never employed his dad, so dad thought he could run the whole thing.
i think if marko leaves, max definitely leaves. however if horner is gone, and newey follows him, they may not have the best car and therefore he leaves. however i think everything being reconciled is more likely
The issue on my mind is that you have to 'streak' on the monza track. That is not the sight i want to see. Prefer guys in red or rb or Petronas on it. 😅😂.
will there be a video on the lap at monaco? 🤔
Bet that grim Jos sent his boy to Merc to further his vengeance against Horner.
Erm will don’t think we’ll forget you owe us a naked lap around Monaco, best set the patreon up for it 😂
I wondered why so many have joined that recently
I think the idea of max at merc is great and I think people should keep an open eye to this as we never saw the Hamilton move coming
Don't forget to film yourself when you are running the length of the Monaco track naked.
Een maand geleden zou ik zeggen no way, na dit weekend ben ik hier niet meer zeker van, im not sure about that any more! Things are happening....
Cant wait for your monaco run :D
Are you excited about going to Monaco this year? I personally can't wait for that live stream you'll be giving us of your "track walk"
All i wanna know is have you started your travel arrangements to Monaco yet 😅
What was the point of the Red Bull powertrain division if they’re just going to Ford in 2026?
Would not surprise me one bit if the simultaneous troubles for the Red Bull team principle and the FIA President both come from the same source, whose initials are Jos.
somewhat similar to what i was thinking. I am sure that the redbull dominance will not continue into 2026 and now with this Horner mess, I am not sure it will into 2025. tbh it could be better for Max to go to Mercedes at the end of 2025, but this if F1, who knows what could happen.
I would dread to see him go, but man, f1 would become interesting agin in a hurry.
0:28 we solved it - that’s it thanks will
that at the end about the hamilton fans is the most true thing
Why do we speculate that Max Verstappen will move?... isn't it more likely that J. Verstappen wants to replace C. Horner, with someone he actually likes... a.k.a. Toto Wolff... TBH i don't think this is far fetched. Toto himself said that if Hamilton left the team he would probably leave/retire aswell.. maybe he will part mercedes and join RedBull.. what do you think?.
Honestly if max moved to Mercedes that’s easily top 2 most shocking moves in f1 history.
How long is that Monaco circuit anyway?
You may want to wear a helmet
It's going to be difficult to run naked through Monaco when it's illegal to be so much as bear-foot in town... Best of luck mate.
Im waiting for monaco mate😂
1:57 that face😂😂😂
Not sure I believe it. Max has been caught on camera saying he doesn't enjoy driving in F1 and would actually enjoy his career more in something like sports cars or prototypes.
Realistically, his best bet to keep winning after 2026 is Merc. It will be interesting to see what will happen to Russel in that case, as I'm pretty sure Toto won't miss out on 'next Verstappen' Antonelli, as he did with original Max. That being said, there is the thing that Max was a Merc junior driver, so basically he would be coming home in a sense.
So when is the lap around Monaco?
I hope you already have all your travel and hotel booked for Monaco.
The Hamilton to Ferrari bit LMAO. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Funniest shit I've heard in months.
So when is the lap around Monaco?
So when's the video coming out for your trip to Monaco
That thumbnail looks so good though
Can't wait for the naked drive in Monako video
You said it. 2026 reg is too close for changing for him.
Can’t wait to see that Monaco run
You never waste my time even if I knew the reason you are very entertaining never the less
Although I do have my doubts something to consider is the PU deal with Ford that hangs in the balance. The engine has always been redbulls achilles heel. And no matter how much of a genius Adrien Newey is if another team makes a rocket engine max will be in the dust. Max knows Mercedes can deliver with an engine where Redbull is yet to be seen. That’s the part that makes me think it could happen. Who knows though. I guess I just wasted your time reading this
Just a guess but monaco is probably not a bad place to go to jail…🤷♂️
Thank you for reminding all of us about that promise that everyone forgot about, now it's time for you to fulfill youre promise.
Ahahahaha no
@@FP1Will God dammit, but hay, what about a vlog from this year's Monaco GP instead?
Ill become a patreon just to see you run a lap around monte carlo hahahha
That ain’t happening sorry 😂😂
IndyCar prediction video pls
Please don’t kill the hype train! 😅
So when is the marathon happening?
what's with Horner? I missed some time
With hamilton at ferrari, maclaren having lando and piastri, the only other option for a top team is merc. If for whatever reason max wants to leave redbull after 2024 his best option to be the top driver of a team in 2025 is at merc. But thats all assuming he leave redbull, which i doubt will happen unless some huge changes happen at redbull this season
No way i hope f1tv broadcast you running around monaco naked 😂😂
And Verstappen ain't getting anywhere near a Mercedes seat while they have Andrea Kimi Antonelli waiting in the wings (and have ruled out a Williams drive for him).
Maybe this is because Ford Reasons. They dont seem too chuffed about all this. I guess maybe Redbull could go it alone on the engine side but is that what team verstappen thinks will keep them winning.
thank you, finally someone with common sense.
2 things to add
1 Max will never race for Mercedes and or Toto for what happened at Silverstone
2 Newey bought a sailboat and is going to sail around the world when the RB track car project is finished.
What happened is that Jos in typical dutch style told horner what he thought about the situation (and rightfully so)
That doesn’t sell so the media makes it a Jos verstappen coupe at RB.
Anyone who thinks Jos blows up the team when his kid is winning everything after 20 years total dedication is off the scale nuts.
So when are you coming to monaco. I'll be waiting
Big Benny didn't do anything about the coco pops so now he's on the receiving end of the leaks as well. The coco pops one was way more saucy to be honest, and even that wasn't much to go on.
Jos has apparently, can't find the article while writing this but he was told to sit down and STFU by either Horner or Red Bull. I do feel like this is a power grab by Jos, and it will not end well if he forces Horner out, especially since Horner was cleared by the legal process. Question is, has anyone validated any of the messages?
Jos is trying to install a puppet until Max either gets to 8 WDC, or gets bored trying, at which point, he can take over as TP, with Jos prolonging his vicarious importance…
We are still waiting for the Monaco-run video.
I bet if Max steps in the current Mercedes car he still wins the championship. Easily and will dominate. All teams know this and will do anything to get him. His pure pace is 1 second on the rest on the field, too bad for us F1 fans.
nah man, F1 is all about the car. any good enough pilot stepping into that RB wins the championship. I bet even Yuki could get it done.
@@psygreg you new to F1? In my thirty years of following this sport I’ve never seen anything like Max. He’s something else, too bad you don’t get it. But I guess people also didn’t get Michael Jordan when he was starting raking up titles.
@@psygreg Nah, also on the point about putting max in the current Mercedes car though. But he would (again) beat his teammate silly. And the current RB is almost tailormade for verstappen so other drivers will have a harder time getting used to it.
@@joog79 that might be true but I bet there would be at least half the grid willing to give it a good shot knowing the pace in that car
@@psygreg Every driver will give their left nut to drive in a RB now. Even a (relative!) dullard as Perez moves ahead of the pack. So the car can drive most people to victory, true that. But everybody sees Verstappen pushing 105% out of any F1 car and that's nothing short of magic.
